More Happy Celebrations..

Lately I made another  set of cards marking very happy celebrations.  I made another anniversary card for a couple at my church who celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.   Here's their card,

This card is very colorful and vibrant in person, unfortunately I didn't capture it that well.  For the focal point rose on this card, I decided to take advantage of the pretty paper I used, first I just cut out a large rose with a circle Nestibilities die then I went around the edge with a clear sparkle gel pen. I cut out the shape of another rose and added a stickle type glitter glue to glitz it up a bit and few pop dots to layer it for some dimension. 

My boss celebrated her birthday this past weekend and I made this card for her.  This is the first card I've actually given that I did my Copic coloring on.  The flower is from the Gina K Dogwood and Butterfly rubber stamp collection.  I decided to cut them out and use pop dots and a little bling.

Can anyone say brownie points?!  LOL, She loved it.

My sister-in-law's birthday is today but we celebrated it over the weekend and she loved her card too, here's her card.

I made this rose again that I've made on the cards in my previous post.  I love making these roses.  I used the Spellbinder Rose Creations set by Donna Salazar, the leaves are also Spellbinders Foliage set, I usually use pearlized chalk to color the rose and ink the edges with an ink pad, then spritz with Tim Holtz Pearl glimmer mist. For the background I use a Cuttlebug folder & I inked it using the Tim Holtz Red Brick distressed ink pad & Mememto yellow ink pad... I can't remember the exact color but the blend was great.  Then I cut it in thirds, added a lacey paper doily & popped a little blingy circle for just to added a little interest.

That's it for now, more later.

Celebrating Two Beautiful Couples...

I made two Happy Anniversary cards for two awesome couples.  Their marriages are awesome examples of loving through thick & thin.  The first couple is my sister-in-law's sister & her husband who recently celebrated 23/yrs of love & marriage. Here is their card...

They loved their card and couldn't even remember when this picture was taken...LOL!  They were delighted.

 My Pastor and Fist Lady are the next couple that recently celebrated 20/yrs of love and marriage and are an awesome example of marriage.  Here's their card... I actually forgot to take a picture of the final finished card because I added a blingy flourish that really set it off and I totally forgot to take a picture.  Ow well, you get the idea, (lesson learned).

It was so much fun making these cards & they too had to remember the occasion that I took their picture.  They were so happy with their card.

Cards I've Made Lately

I've really been a bad blogger lately.  It's been super busy lately but I've managed to do a few cards for friends and one actually done on request by my brother for a friend of his recovering from surgery.
Here's what I've done lately...

This one I made for the former head of our department who was leaving my place of employment.  I even made the envelope which my first time for that but I think they look nice together.  It was also my first time making a stick pin to include with my card.  I have a lot of beads and jewelery making stuff so can see myself making lots of those for cards.  She really liked this card.

This one was for a co-worker's daughter recovering from an injury. She is such a nice young lady I just had to make her something and sent it to her by her mom, whom I work with.

 

Last but not least, my brother requested this one to send to a friend recovering from surgery.

It's funny but can you see a GREEN theme lately.  Maybe because it's spring but I've used green on each of the last four or five cards I've made.    I think it's time to move on to more color, huh?

That's it for today but I have some more to share soon.  I need to take a couple pictures and will hopefully post again before the end of the week.  So, stay tuned.  More later...

Happy Crafting!!
